Spiritual Art Of Unlearning

2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” ~CSB

There were times in my life when I remember taking too much. It was a time where the world taught me, ‘Don’t let anybody talk down to you!’ The world instilled in me that if there was an audience around, and someone insulted me, I’d better snap back as fast as I could with the first thing that came to my mind. I remember doing that one day when I was young. Another kid tried to insult me. I snapped back. Verbally I hit him hard and made him look really bad. I had won that battle but I didn’t stop. I kept on and the other young man was really hurt and embarrassed. 

I remember saying some things about his home life, his mother; just things that hit below the belt. And those words I can never take back. In my spiritual state today, seeking forgiveness is in my heart for things like that because I was wrong. I was taught wrong. Now it is time to unlearn what the world has taught us. How do we do that? How do we learn how to position ourselves for our transformation, so that we can move on as godly Christians?

By immersing ourselves in God’s Word. We must first surround ourselves with godly people who can help us become familiar with God’s Word. So that we may apply His Word to our lives. The text says in 2nd Timothy that, “All Scripture is inspired by God…” If we need to unlearn what the world has taught us, we must allow the Word of God to “...Teach…” us new ways; “...Rebuke…” our dark spirits, attitudes and actions; and “...Correct…” our perspectives and way of thinking. 

This will be our, (as the text continues), “...training in righteousness, so that…” we, “...may be complete, and equipped for every good work.” May God bless and keep you in His teachings as you continue your journey in Jesus’ name.

Amen
